Each of the four HDPE-plastic plates interlock around a cross-style stand to create a compact, stackable foundation that resists cracking and provides non-slip traction. It’s a simple, affordable way to add weight and stability on patios, decks, poolside areas, balconies, and restaurant terraces without a permanent installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much weight does the base provide and how do I fill it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set reaches a maximum ballast of about 256 lbs when all four plates are filled.
